The Customer agrees that as soon as the transaction request is executed, such transaction is irreversible and may not be cancelled. The Customer may only cancel a transaction request, if such cancellation occurs before TRUSTPAY executes the transaction. The Customer may not change, withdraw or cancel its authorisation for TRUSTPAY to complete such transaction, once the transaction request has been executed.
